		Dragonflight initially was a creation of members of The Brass
		Dragon Society, a Seattle role-playing group. Those gamers
		extended the opportunity to gather at a convention which was
		to be called Dragonflight. Members of Western Washington Wargamers,
		an all-facets gaming group, convinced the Brass Dragon Society
		to embrace all gaming in the Convention and joined in the effort
		to create the first Dragonflight in 1980.  Eventually they formed a non-profit
		organization and Seattle University became the home of the annual
		convention for nearly twenty-five years. Some thirty years after
		its founding, the convention is presented in local convention
		hotels. During that time, many area gaming organizations, companies,
		and individuals have contributed as volunteers to enjoy company,
		stories, and of course games.
		<br />
		<br />
		In 1990, a group of Dragonflight members approached the Board
		of Directors with a proposal to join with the Simulation Gaming
		Association, a campus gaming group at the University of Washington,
		to create Metro Seattle Gamers, a gaming experience which is
		one of the nation's few self-supporting clubhouses devoted to
		our hobby. The club site remained in the Ballard area of Seattle
		until 2007 when it moved to the current location in the Interbay
		district.
		<br />
		<br />
		Throughout its history, volunteers have made Dragonflight great.
		If you've enjoyed a convention, or an event, or a day at the
		clubhouse, it is the members who make it happen.
